Summary: "For all the precision and poetry of its language, for all the complexity of its structure, for all the range of styles and genres it acknowledges and encompasses, for all its wicked humor, its inventiveness and sophistication, 2666 seems like the work of a literary genius."--Francine Prose, Harper's Magazine "As consummate a performance as any 900-page novel dare hope to be . . . not only a supreme capstone to his own vaulting ambition, but a landmark in what's possible for the novel as a form."--Jonathan Lethem, The New York Times Book Review" To call 2666 a thing of nearly unfathomable breadth elides the intimacy of experiencing it. . . . A work of devastating power and complexity, a final statement worthy of a master."--Adam Mansbach, The Boston Globe "Strange and marvelous and impossibly funny, bursting with melancholy and horror."--Ben Ehrenreich, Los Angeles Times "Bolao has joined the immortals."--Steven Moore, The Washington Post.
